I looked high and low for a great Thanksgiving gadget to celebrate the holiday today, and what did I find? A photo gadget with pictures of winter, a “thanksgiving songs” gadget that was a big ad for Amazon, and a collection of flash games involving turkeys that were shrunk down beyond recognition. For shame! What about a recipe contest, or a photo gadget where you can post pictures of your hard work, or top ten myths about thanksgiving day origins, or something a little bit innovative!

Anyway, after messing around with turkey bowling and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade gadget (horrendously slow and clunky), I decided to go with a simple Recipe feed from Elise.com to get back to what the holiday is really about, eating enormous amounts of food. The feed includes a new recipe every couples of days, with a picture and a long description, and tries for quality over quantity. Elise boasts that every recipe is tested by her or her family personally, and she has even posted this heartwarming picture of her parents to prove it! Recipes for today include Turkey Soup, Stuffing, apple pie and quite a few more.  Cons, the feed could use some sharing functionality and/or inline ratings to make it a bit more interactive, but otherwise very solid.
